Globally, Mother's Day tends to experience an influx in cross-border payment flows, as families send money home for long-distance celebrations. Proof in point: MoneyGram payment volumes from the United States to places like Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador often spike over 50% in the days surrounding the holiday. Across the industry, Mexico posted record remittances in May of 2023. Fueled by larger inflows of funds for celebrations around Mother's Day, Mexicans living abroad – mainly in the US – sent home $5.69 billion in the month.1
